Mitt Romney predicted shutdown, explains fix to Hannity

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney made a prediction during the 2012 election few took to heart, but given the rancor emanating from Washington, most now wish they would have.

“You know that if the president were to be elected, he would still be unable to work with members of Congress,” he said in 2012 according to Fox News. “He’s ignored them, he’s attacked them, he’s blamed them. And of course the debt ceiling is going to come up again, and then there’d be a threat of shutdown or default. And that of course chills the economy, puts more people out of work.”

One year later, the government has been shut down for a week, people have been forced out of work and we’re a week away from bumping against a new debt ceiling — and the president won’t negotiate until he first gets his way. These predictions are on top of a host of other ones Romney made in 2012 that eventually came to pass.

He criticized President Obama on the Sean Hannity Show Tuesday for not working with the Republican-held House.

“We’ve got to rein in our spending,” Romney said. “We’ve got to put in place a series of reforms that assure that America’s future will be prosperous. And that’s what the Republicans are asking the president to do.”

When asked whether he supports the GOP’s stand against the Affordable Care Act, he said, “I’m with the Republicans who want to make sure we finally address the spending crisis that’s ahead.”

But. Dave. They won. If you are a righty, you lost. Period. You can now live with it, or voter smarter next time, maybe. You could leave the country like Ted (loaded pants) Nugent said he would, but, you will probably just sit back in your recliner and just grumble, like your belly. The Right is giving away their political future right now. You can see it just sliding down the drain. There is goes. More and more each day. Poor Dave.

Folks. Romney lost. Why is anyone listening to a loser? If the GOP/’baggers/the Right keep this up, they will be sliding further and further down the slope politically and I think it will cost them the House in 2014. Then, the Right will be reduced to just being the noisy opposition. The GOP/’bagger/the Right leadership asked for it. Now they will have it. They screwed up and will have to rely on the Democrats to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. sweet.

Just a thought Bonnie, once you’ve begun a comment using words like “idiot”, “moron”,”jerk”, you’ve lost audience of the person you’re talking to. If you want to make a point, don’t attack someone personally, and try to use bigger words, most of those people have educations. The uneducated seldom have an opinion. Just a suggestion. Hope you can get your point across, you have valid information to share.

John Hall

Great interview, but it’s bittersweet that the voice of reason and calm is the man who didn’t win. He would’ve been a great leader of this country.
